Delicious! Good service and fresh, flavorful food. Reasonable pricing. Locals must like it too...lots of takeout flying out the door.

There are two Thai Basil restaurants within two miles of one another. Don't be fooled. This is not the one to go to nor order from. Your meal always comes out wrong and I've gotten sick from food at this location. Twice. Do yourself a favor and keep driving to the one on University rather than this one. read more

I absolutely love this place. People r so friendly here and I am a regular customer at this place. Cheap n best food.

Excellent excellent excellent that's all I can say I had Thai pad Thai and it was delicious it was the seafood one there was lots of different seafood amount was great I thought it was expensive at first but then I looked at the amount and I said that's fair so it's definitely the best place in Arizona to eat I love Thai basil read more

Let's keep this review simple.. This place is on point. I've tried all their curries!!! So yummy. I love any of their peanut sauces and they are so cravable. Ps I love to pick out a good this place if they have a solid Thai tea.. And they do! read more

Went with family for dinner, ordered 2 chicken satay, Pad Thai with chicken and Drunken noodles with chicken. It was happy hour so we got chicken satay for $5.50 vs $7 and some change. Pad Thai and Drunken noodles were $10.95. Price wise good. Chicken Satay came with peanut sauce and veggies, everyone liked it forsure. Peanut sauce can be spicy for kids but they still enjoyed it. Veggies were sweet. Came with four skewers. Chicken was flavorful. Pad Thai was good as well, tofu was cooked well, little but tougher on the outside but still yummy. Just as previous photos looks exactly the same. Drunken noodles were okay, I found myself dipping the chicken in the peanut sauce. Perhaps we should've added a different type of carb. Rice might've paired better instead of the Drunken noodles. Overall good price, a lot of food for what you pay for. We had some left overs. Ideal for a sharing style the of dinner where everyone can have some of each plate. Wish we took pictures! Next time. read more

Disappointing...I went to visit a friend and they recommended this restaurant. I treated my friend and hers to their take out meals. I requested noodles with peanut sauce and pork. Instead, I got white rice with hard pork chops and vegetables. At least my friends seemed to enjoy their meals. Three staff people were standing there as I placed my order and repeated it a minimum of 3 times. They STILL got it wrong :-(. Lesson learned. Don't assume they understand your requests. AND, check all of your order first. Do NOT take their word for it. Not worth the $60 bucks and tip I paid. read more

This is the best place ever yummy food the cheese roll are the best great job Thai Brazil I could never live without your cheese roll my parents even think its good to read more

My favorite (and nice intro for a Thai newbie) is their namesake dish (Thai Basil): chicken, veggies and a light delicious glaze. Best yellow curry in town - and among best Pad Thai. read more

Thai Basil is probably one of the better Thai restaurants in Phoenix; however, it just OK to me. Most of the dishes I've had are somewhat flavorful, but I feel like they all leave me feeling like they are a little bland. In addition, vegetables are often undercooked, especially the potatoes in yellow curry. The meats are of decent quality, but are a little bit dry and tough. The spiciness is inconsistent--I usually order things "hot," but the dishes will still range from only mildly spicy to sweating/burning hot. read more

I have pass this place many times driving home from work. I was glad I stopped. it was very good. I have hit every Thai place in town. I would visit this place again. read more

I had lunch there a couple weeks ago and this past weekend took my wife there. We both liked the place. Food is good and the service and atmosphere nice. Not quite the best we've had but worth going back again when we are in that area. read more

This location is way better than the one off of central. The prices are whats advertised, unlike the location on Central. The food at this location is flavorful and the staff is helpful I have been to this location, and will continue to order from here, but I will never go back to the location on central and Thomas. This location should serves as a model to the other locations. THE ONE ON CENTRAL and THOMAS IS TRASH compared to this one. read more

Excellent! Our waitress was very pleasant. She was the daughter of the owner. She knew the menu very well and provided excellent suggestions. I had the honey pork which was offered as a suggestion by our waitress. It was an unusual Thai dish to find on menu but was assured to be an authentic dish found in Thailand by our waitress. You can choose the spice level for all meals. I ordered it medium spicy and could have used a little more heat. I do like my food spicy though! read more

Every time I go I have terrible experience. I realize that I should just stop going even if it means not eating out with friends. The curry I got tasted strange and not like any thai food I have ever tasted before. One time I had asked for extra mushrooms and there was no mushrooms in my curry. The service was never good and always have to ask for water. The thai basil on university was definitely not as bad as this place but the portions for lunch are so tiny. I will not return and do not recommend! read more

Great lunch deal - as an ASU employee I eat here all the time and its pretty good every time. The veggies & meat always seem fresher than some of the other Thai places around campus, and (I think?) it is family owned, as I always see the same older couple working both lunch and dinner shifts. Also great for take out. I probably eat here way too much... read more

Delicious and prompt service. I ordered the Pad-See-Ew(sp) as carry-out after walking in intending to stay but I ordered to-go instead. The hostess was super friendly and the shop was very pretty and well-kempt. The only reason I didn't provide five stars is because the sauce on my dish was a little bland, but I will still definitely be back to enjoy more options. read more

If there was ten star I would do it for thai Basil the food is delicious especially the cheese roll is the best I had never have in my life . read more

This is my favorite Thai restaurant! The staff is always frindly and courteous. The Pad Thai Chicken is the best I ever had. Always hot and fresh, cooked to your spice-level, and served quickly which is important for the lunch hour. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the prices are amazing. I've been here at least 10 times and I haven't been disappointed once. The yellow curry and the spicy noodles are my favorites. You cannot beat this value!!!! read more

Possibly the best fried rice we've ever eaten. In town for just two nights and this place was so good, we ate dinner here both nights. We got the Spring rolls and the Thai fried rice both nights. The pad Thai and pineapple fried rice were both good, too. We ordered "medium" for the spice level - it was maybe a little too spicy for our daughter but a good compromise for one of us who likes a moderate heat level and the other who usually wants the spiciest possible. Great prices for the portions and friendly customer service. We'd definitely come back again. read more

Best dish of all: Crab Fried Rice. Its amazing! I've tried following chicken dishes and all were good: Thai fried rice, spicy fried rice, pad thai noodles and green curry. Green curry with steamed rice is great. You can suggest the level of spiciness with Thai hot being the extreme and they do make it a lot spicy if you want it to be. There is considerable quantity of food in a dish and one dish can be shared in three or four if ordering multiple dishes. The customer service for us was pretty cheerful, friendly and fast. read more

Thai Basil is a fantastic little Thai restaurant. The food is delicious and relatively affordable. Even more important the food comes out fast and the service is excellent. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great lunch spot, or anyone who loves spicy food. Beware of ordering your food "Thai spicy" unless your capable of eating extremely spicy cuisine. I usually order my food "regular spicy", which is still pretty hot. read more

Yellow curry medium heat was delish! Didn't quite burn my mouth but had enough kick.

In town, on a layover flight to Cabo San Lucas. We showed up here by a recommendation from the host at the hotel. It was fantastic. My wife, who previous to this restaurant, said "I do not like Thai food." Is now a fan. She loved the eggplant entrée. Our 3 yr old liked the BBQ chicken type dish and our 5 yr old loved the curry. The waitress was great. She held our 9 month old baby and walked around showing him off to the rest of the staff, which may be too much for some, but it allowed mom to get a few bites in without him on her lap. They do have high chairs, but he decided mom's lap was the place for him. We would definitely do by again, if we were in the area. read more

Awesome!! Still here and was inspired to write a review... Had an absolutely delicious dinner. The BF had a curry fried rice that he loved and I had a tofu cashew pineapple Thai stirfry on brown rice that was absolutely awesome - I requested my vegetables cooked crunchy they were perfect. Always love sake bombers - love that they have gluten-free Japanese beer served in chilled mugs - bonus! Only thing we are sad about was at the coconut ice cream has cows milk in it - bummer :-( it's homemade but maybe they'll be inspired to make it with just coconut milk next time . Our server, Nitiya was lovely, so helpful and friendly - really added to our experience, made it even that much better - ask for her! Thanks Thai Basil - we'll be back !! read more

My Husband and I always choose this Thai basil for date night - it's our favorite:) the food is always delicious and it fills us up!

The food here is addictive. After the first time I went in to get some chicken pad thai and fried calamari, I went there every day for a week. Even now, I go there at least once a week if not 2 or 3. The food is incredibly tasty, healthy, and the service is top notch. Careful with the "Thai Hot" order. That's a scorcher (and a blessing for those of us who love spicy food). read more

Love thai food, love this restaurant. Nice decor, friendly staff. I always get masaman, the sweet curry, with chicken, medium spice or the Panang. The curries are full of flavor and has a good amount of veggies and chicken. The portion sizes are good too, I usually always have left overs. So far I have been pleased, good place to have lunch right near ASU. I'm quite the foodie, so I can say without a doubt the food is good and I will be back again! read more

*DISCOLORED CHICKEN* & Whatever you do - don't order delivery! They've gone 3 for 3 on messing up orders with the last order being messed up and the chicken appeared rotten. I can deal with the occasional mix up but when I call I hope for a little curtesy after a mistake is made. Snappy attitude and a few laughs as I explained the issue doesn't resonate well with customers. Never doing this again. read more

Huge portions and a great price too. My sister (her first time trying Thai) had the beef pad see ew and I had the chicken pad Thai. The noodles in both were cooked to perfection with a great slight chewiness and density. The toppings were aesthetically pleasing and there weren't fillers. Definitely umami. The staff definitely knows their regulars. I am not so I didn't have as much of a friendly greeting. The food more than made up for a great lunch and leftovers. read more

My new favorite Thai place!! The food here is so good. My favorite dishes are the curry or Thai garlic. These dishes have great flavor and a good amount of spice. I've gotten medium spicy and it's perfect for me. I've never eaten inside, always take out. The food is prepared quickly and always tastes fresh. The portions are perfect with enough for leftovers. The restaurant is pretty spacious and is always very clean when I pick up my food. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There food can also be ordered on Grubhub. read more

I've been coming to Thai Basil for a couple of years and have been searching Tempe for good thai food. This place is awesome. It's right across the street from my dorm, and their food is cooked to order. They are super accommodating to people's tastes and very nice. You can come in for dinner with a huge party and they will do their best to fit you all together. Their dessert of sticky rice is great, the pad thai comes in a huge portion and is fairly priced, the lunch specials are great. I would say this is one of my favorites in Tempe. Being Asian I like eating some genuine Asian food from time to time and this place is great! Their thai tea is awesome enough for me to stop by during the day and grab two for myself. read more

Thai Basil is my go-to for Thai food. I've tried other Thai places, but none of them have been as good. Depending on my mood, I either get the pad Thai, Thai Basil, or curry chicken. It's all so good! I especially like the veggie soup that comes with lunch special. I love soup and could just make a meal off of that. read more

Ate here for the first time and had the hot and sour soup. It was amazing! Huge portion. Filled with vegetables and great flavor! Great service and fair prices as well. I happened to be in that part of town and the restaurant was suggested. Although I live far from here, I plan on driving back to eat there again! read more

I was first introduced to Thai Basil on a date (the location on University). I don't know if it was the food or the company but I had a fantastic time and have been with that very same boy for over 2 years now :-) Good first date choice, Sean R! We probably get take out/dine in at Thai Basil once every week or two. When the new location (within walking distance of home) opened up on Rural I was ecstatic. The owners/waitstaff are always warm, friendly, and inviting. The restaurant is cozy, dark and intimate and the food is amazing with killer prices. I can't begin to describe how much I love Thai food. My favorite dishes are the Thai Basil with chicken or shrimp, Garlic chicken or shrimp, the Red Curry chicken, and the Coconut soup (soooo good!). The spring rolls are amazing as well. I have never had a bad experience...in fact, I think I'll get takeout from Thai Basil this evening, it just sounds so good writing about it! read more

This thai basil in an embarrassment to the one on W. University. I went here ONCE and that was all i needed to know they did not serve authentic thai food. We ordered pad thai and chicken with peanut butter coconut dip. The pad thai came literally drowning in sauce. It did not look appetizing but I tasted it anyways. It was awful. It tasted like orange chicken sauce only with noodles. The waitress came back over and we asked her if she eats pad thai like this. She replied no. So we told her we want the same authentic thai food that she eats and sent it back. The chicken and peanut butter sauce was decent, but I will never go back to this place. Even the plates that other people had did not look good AT ALL. So get your money's worth and go down to the one on W. University because I promise you it is MUCH better. I have never been disappointed. read more

I ordered a shrimp, chicken, and tofu Pad Thai last month and had it delivered using Grub Hub. All of my directions were followed, the food was still hot, and their portions were generous. read more

No thank you!! My husband and I just moved from Seattle where Thai Food is DELICIOUS! We ordered grub hub Thai Basil last night and it was pretty gross. Huge chunks of carrots and green onions thrown in instead of being thinly sliced in true Thai fashion. Also, very bland. We asked for "medium spice" since we wanted to be cautious it being our first time eating at Thai Basil. I kept biting into hard chunks of something...I'm thinking it was just some of the spices that weren't cooked down to soften up? Hmm...Either way I had to spit several bites out after biting down on something mysterious. The beef in my Pad-See-Ew was pretty fatty and the noodles were either way too cooked and kind of grainy or not cooked enough and still hard...My husbands Pad Thai tasted like spaghetti noodles with peanuts mashed up and mixed in. The noodles were way overdone and super mushy. Just not very good. I'm not sure how this place received as high of a rating as it did, but if you've ever had authentic Thai food, don't waste your money thinking that this place will even compare! read more

went with a food group and thoroughly enjoyed myself. started with a coconut based soup with shrimp and scallops, with a hint of lime and lemongrass.asked for hot, more medium-hot. for entrees, i had spicy noodes, again with shrimp and scallops, and it was great. the rest of the group had yellow curry dishes, which i samples and were ok, fried rice which is hard to screw up, and they did not, and sliced beef dish in a tangy sauce, also good. for dessert, i had one of my favorite thai desserts. sticky rice and mango. all in all a good experience, and they also have an outlet in central phoenix on central near thomas. good neighborhood food. wish they had thad mun for an appetizer,. which are fish patties that i enjoy and you can find at thai rama on camelback and 13th ave. otherwise, i recommend this place. read more
